I want to transfer my entire itunes account to another computer. how can i get all of the music i put on my computer on a new computer?

So my family had a computer that kept all of the songs and videos on it for itunes. how can i transfer all of that data to another computer and put that new computer as our home computer for the home itunes computer? please help me. i have been trying to figure this out for 2 months now.

open itunes on the new computer and go to the itunes store
make sure you are signed in with the apple id of whoever purchased all of music from the itunes store
on the right hand side of the itunes store home page, under quick links click 'purchased'
you will be able to download anything you have previously purchased for free
let me know if that works for you.

  • How can I get all of the music on itunes to sync?

    When I sync my ipod touch not all of the songs in itunes are transferred over.  I have about 30 more songs in itunes than on my ipod.  There are also a couple of songs that are sync but they will not play on the ipod but they will play in itunes.  Is there a way to fix this?

    I'd like to know this as well.  Mine just started doing this.   I didn't do anything any differently and I have rebooted my iPod.   It gets to the determining items to copy part and hangs there forever.  Photos and apps were copied, however, just not songs.

  • How do I get all of the music on my computer to transfer to my Iphone?  For some reason, itunes has picked up some songs but not others.  example, I have several CD's loaded in which only 1 or 2 songs from the CD shows up in itunes.

    I have about 70 Cd's loaded on my computer as I had previously owned another MP3 device before I got enamored with the Ipad and Iphone. My problem is itunes will not recognize all of this music.  To give a specific example, I have an old Bon Jovi Cd "crossroads" , itunes only recognizes 2 songs off the Cd.  How can I get itunes to recognize these songs?  They do not show up on itunes anywhere but if i go to my music folder I can locate the songs and it even shows the itunes logo but, the songs will not play with itunes.  I've got a few hours of music i would like to have on my iphone. Can anyone please help me with this?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything on the computer, then sync.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone to your computer - File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

  • My iTunes account says error 13019 after it has recognized all of the music and I have tried everything that is on this website and everything i can find about how to fix it; I even created in under a new administrator. Any suggestions how to fix it?

    My iTunes account says "The iPod "Madison " cannot be synced. An unknown error has occured (13019)" after it has recognized all of the music and has went through every song and it said "Copying  (song)   to "Madison"....." and then after it has went through all of my songs (492) it says the error message. I have tried everything that is on the Apple iTunes website about it, I have created the music account under a new administrator, I've tried everything. What do i do?

    I found something that worked.  I had never come across "recovery mode," but found reference to it, how to do it. http://www.ichilton.co.uk/blog/iphone/getting-the-iphone-ipod-touch-into-recover y-mode-48.html
    Put the ipod touch in recovery mode and then restored it, setting it up as a new Ipod, rather than restoring from the backup.  Given how much trouble I'd had, I suspected that the backup might be corrupted anyway.
    That seems to have resolved everything completely.

  • I have a new iTunes account, on a new computer. How can I get all my old music on my iPhone?

    I recently received a new laptop for christmas, so I wanted to use my own apple account on my iPhone. How would I get all the music/apps from the old library and account onto my new library account?

    Your music will only be where you put it.
    Copy it from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • When copying (importing) a CD with multiple artists to itunes, how can I get all of the tracks to be on one album?

    Wen copying (importing) a CD into itunes that has multiple artists or duets with a primary artist, how can I get the tracks to all appear on one album?

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • How do I get all of the music from my ipod touch onto my itunes. Some of the music is from my brothers and friend's accounts as well and I want it all on my PC itunes.

    Help :)

    The music you acquired from your friends is not yours to keep. If you want that music, you should buy it. To do otherwise is commonly known as stealing.
    Although it's a grey area, if your brother lives in the same house as you, that music you can keep. If the music is on your brother's computer, use an external hadrd drive to copy the music to your computer, import it into iTunes and then put it on your iPod.
    For the musc that you have actually paid for, it should already be on your computer or in a back up copy that you have previously made. If not, then songs purchased from the iTunes Store can probably be downloaded again, just go to your account in the store. Other MP3 retailers usually let you re-download the music. For any CDs that you used, simply use the CD to copy them into your iTunes Library gain.

  • HT1386 how can i get all of my music transferred to my iphone? only itunes purchased songs will transfer, not my whole library.

    How can i transfer my itunes music library to my iphone? currently it will only transfer itunes purchased songs and not my whole library.    

    For non-purchased music like CD rip music, or website downloaded songs, you need some third party software to copy the music from iPod to mac. If you need details, here is a guide about how to get music from iPod to macbook. Hope it helps.

    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    You can redownload music that you have purchased directly to your iTunes Library.  Here's how:

  • My hard drive crashed so i had to get comp fixed.  Nw i don't have my itunes account on there anymore, how can I get upgraded software for ipod?

    How do I get downloads when I don't have my itunes on my computer anymore.  My computer crashed so we had it fixed and it wiped my hard drive.  So now I don't have itunes.

    Depending on which country you are in, then you might be able to re-download the music from iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . Otherwise have you not got a backup of your purchases on, for example, an external drive or DVD that you can copy back onto your computer and add into iTunes ?

  • How can i get all of the new music I loaded into iTunes onto my iPod without deleting the content that is already on it?

    I just loaded a bunch of music from my CD library into iTunes in the hopes of loading it onto my iPod. The problem is now I can't figure out how to do it. Two issues... First it says that if I synch it will delete what is already on my iPod which I absolutely do not want. Second, is there a way to load each of the albums without having to create a play list?
    Ugh... Always a frustrating experience trying to deal with iTunes.

    You can only sync your device to one iTunes library at a time. You can either copy the music from the library on your other computer to the one you have loaded the new CDs onto, or you can purchase an external CD Drive and load them to the iTunes library you are currently sync'd with:

    For syncing, I am not familiar with the drag and drop method. I have always used the normal sync process:
    iTunes 12 for Mac: Sync iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    iTunes 12 for Windows: Sync iPod, iPhone, or iPad

  • How can I get all of my music onto my iphone 5 from itunes on my computer, when it is only syncing the music i purchased from itunes store directly?

    Everything was fine until I got a USB drive from a friend to download a new album onto my itunes from her.  I struggled to get the music synced onto my iphone 5, but it got into itunes fine on my laptop.  So I ended up resyncing the whole device, and apparently this means it only could transfer the songs that I had bought from itunes, and none of the previous music I had from cds, etc that I had added to itunes by myself over the years.  Now on itunes it has a cautin sign for every single non itunes purchased song saying it does not know where to find the song and can not play it.  My iphone now only has 43 songs (the ones I bought from itunes store) and is missing the other 2000 I have.  Does anyone know how to fix this for me???? I am desperate!  I'm using windows 8 on this new laptop and am beyond confused!
    Also it might be important to note that I had itunes on an older laptop and within the past year i have transfered everything to a new laptop, so perhaps since the original music folders were on the old laptop, it cant find them? I don't know, I am not great with technology, but desperate please!!!

    Copy everything form your backup copy of your old computer to the new one.

  • My old computer, and external that I had everything backed up on broke. Majority of my music I got from burning CD's that I no longer have. How can I get all my music on my iPod onto my new iTunes?

    Like I said, my back up broke and I can't get all of my music back by transfering purchases because I burned a lot of CD's I had collected from the past. I don't have any of those CD's anymore, so how can I get all of my music onto my new iTunes? Or am I just S.O.L.?

    Phone to Mac,this app lets you easily copy, transfer the music, videos and playlists from any iPod or iPhone directly into iTunes on any Mac.
